Most
of the time common stocks are subject to irrational and excessive
price fluctuations in both directions as the consequence of
the ingrained tendency of most people to speculate or gamble...
to give way to hope, fear and greed.Ben

Quotes

There's
this thing of greed versus fear. The market's going up, you're
not worried. All of a sudden it starts going down and you
start saying, "I remember my uncle told me, you know,
somebody lost it all in the Depression. People were jumping
out of windows. They were selling pencils and apples."

All for
ourselves, and nothing for other people, seems, in every age
of the world, to have been the vile maxim of the masters of
mankind.Adam

Quotes

The secret
of success is to realize that the crisis on our planet is
much larger than just deciding what to do with your own life,
and if the system under which we live the structure of western
civilization begins to collapse because of our selfishness
and greed, then it will make no difference whether you have
$1 million dollars when the crash comes or just $1.00.Marianne
